My Uncle used to go to British GPs during the 80s and he used to give my mum the programmes for me to keep. I think I've pretty much got every British GP programme from about 1981 onwards. That was my first real contact with the sport and of course most of the early 80s British races were the "John Player GP of....." so of course they were important because they had some cars in the race as well and so they by the logic of an 8 year old were the best cars on the grid...... wonder which team that was?I vaguely remember watching some of the coverage / highlights from about 1984 onwards but the first race I remember vividly was the 1986 British GP when Jacques Laffite had his horrendous crash. If I remember correctly the race was shown live for once and it held the coverage up for about an hour while the cars were sorted out and they went for a restart.
